Kriston, like your DS, my DS5 is fascinated with knowing more than just the driver in his favorite sport - only it's not NASCAR. He knows NASCAR, but can tell you more than you'd ever want to know about Monster Trucks (Monster Jam).
The other thing he LOVES is to play Hangman. Now that is definitely a kid game, BUT he doesn't just do one or two words like you might see most five year olds doing. It's full sentences, and not easy ones. We play a lot at DD3's ballet class, and he's had more "how old are you?" questions thrown at him than *I* can count (ha). And of course, the next question is always "what did you do (Mom)"?
He also really loves Upwords (haven't quite taught him scrabble yet) and Boggle - word games.
